Post in this space any important, memorable images and/or any symbols. Be sure to thoroughly explain your post!
I think that the name of the spaceship, Nomad, is a symbol, because of what nomad means. It means that someone or a group of people don't stay in one place but move in search of food or other goods. So the nomad or Gully in the story, really doesn't have a place to settle down, but just keeps moving in search of only what he needs.-Kyle Waite
I agree with kyle, and i think how they use symbols in each persons name where there is an "'O" to designate male or female is a good symbol to note. -Justin Campbell
I think that Gully's face after he got the tattoo removed is a symbol. I believe it show the animal inside Gully. Mr. Trimmer says how Gully related to an animal in this book and I believe this sopports that. At this point in the book, Gully is changing and hidding his animal qualities a lot better. But when he gets really upset, he returns to the animal behavor and the animal mask shows up too. So this is showing us the changing going on inside Gully as he learns to control his behavior and his emotions by learning consious control. *Kayle Giarth*
In class and in the book there have been Christ like qualities being shown in gully, but to honestly say he is christ like with his with all of his swearing and betrayal and lying is just crazy. To me Gully is nothing more than a man seeking revenge. Sure there has been instances of holy references but he has done so much just to say otherwise.-John benton
Response: Just because he swears and lies doesnt mean he can't be symbolized as Christ. -Justin Campbell
Response: I do some what agree with John, but maybe in th book Gully is a form of a differnt kind of God in the way others see him by trying to save the world by getting the pyre first, the best way he can and the only way he can.- Catherine Averill
On page 73 when Gully hears jiz's voice for the first time he think she is an angel, even though it is just a whisper chain that makes him able to hear her. I do think that Jiz does symbolize an angel because she teaches Gully to speak regularly and she tells him she can help him escape. So in a sense she is helping to save Gully like an angel.-Chanelle Meadows
Response: I agree with Chanelle. She was a helper to getting him on the right path when he was confused. She put him on the path to getting his revenge against the people controling Vorga that gave the order to abandon him not just the ship itself.- Alexander Hall
When Gully sees himself, but ingulfed in fire, they think its him burning in hell. I agree with them, but i also think that seeing himself in hell, is going to change him in someway. That the Gully that is ingulfed in fire is going to try to get the Gully now, to change his ways so that he doesnt end up in hell for his actions.-Erica Keim
Near the end of the book it mentions a burning figure that appears after Gully gets angry and kills someone. This could be a symbol of the devil and showing Gully that he's going to hell for his murders. -Justin Campbell
In chapter 14 Gully finds out that Olivia is just as bad of a criminal as Gully is. I believe this symbolizes Gully in a weird way. She has done just as many bad things as Gully has done and i think that she is kind of like a gully in a woman form. She also wants revenge on the world because she is blind and says that she would like to just have been killed when she was a baby. Gully wants revenge on the Vorga for passing him up and leaving him to die. So both of these characters represent and symbolize each other in their own speical way. -Chanelle Meadows
I think the image of Foyle is so different from Christ. Because Foyle is the complete opposite of him, but the same time people in the book and the class has the feeling he is another Christ. What isnt impossible just because theyre different but its unnormal for the same idea or person to reattend the universe as the direct opposite. Andreas Natoli
When Gully sees the burning image of himself throughout the book, I thought at first that it meant he was going to burn in hell for murdering the people he was trying to interigate. But when I finished the book, it was really him time jaunting. He was trapped in Old St. Pat's with his body burning from the fire and was trying to escape, but everytime he tried to jaunt through time, he would go and then come back a few seconds later. When he did that, he saw himself burning and then the image dissappeared. -Sasha Cochran
When Gully notices the burning man throughout the middle of the book, I believe this will later symbolize something very important and vital to the stories backbone. -Cullen Schimminger
